Alicja Wolk,JoAnn E. Manson,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Frank B. Hu,Frank E. Speizer,Charles H. Hennekens,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that higher fiber intake, particularly from cereal sources, reduces the risk of CHD is supported, and the association between long-term intake of total dietary fiber as well as fiber from different sources and risk ofCHD in women is examined.

TL;DR: Cigarette smoking is an independent and avoidable risk factor for AMD among women and treatment is not available or is ineffective for most patients, so reducing the risk of this disease is another important reason to avoid smoking.

Edward Giovannucci,Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,David G. Hunter,Bernard Rosner,Walter C. Willett,Frank E. Speizer +6 more

Francine Grodstein,Meir J. Stampfer,Samuel Z. Goldhaber,JoAnn E. Manson,Graham A. Colditz,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,C. H. Honnekens +7 more
